A retired Army officer killed his wife in their Harford County, Maryland, home and then drove to his son's home near the University of Maryland, College Park and killed him and then himself, police say.

Farhad Siddique, 19, died in what police are calling a double murder and suicide. His mother, Zarqa Siddique, 48, also was killed.

"He missed a class that he goes [to] with his friends," he said. "They started reaching out to him and he never responded back."

Officers found his body and the body of his father, Nasir Siddique, 57, about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday in the father's SUV, police said. The car was parked on 48th Avenue, less than a mile from the university's College Park campus.

Harford County police believe Nasir Siddique killed his wife, Zarqa Siddique, hours earlier at their home in Bel Air, northeast of Baltimore. Her body was found with a gunshot wound about 10:15 p.m. Wednesday.

Officers then learned that Prince George County's officers were investigating the death of her husband and son.

Nassir Siddique, an Army retiree, was an appointed member of the Governor's Commission on Maryland Military Monuments, Shareese DeLeaver-Churchill, a spokeswoman for the Maryland Department of Planning confirmed. Due to poor attendance, Nassir was not slated to be re-appointed, she said.
